Scanned from a negative from the late 1930's
The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré located 30km east of Quebec City
Construction of the present Basilica started in 1926 after the previous one was destroyed by fire in 1922. Construction was delayed due to the depression and construction resumed in 1937 with the building being completed in 1946
In the photo the spires have not been completed, temporary steps are being used and the statues have not been installed in the niches in the walls
